Funny events in anti-woke world

[XsjadoBlaydette]

There was no way Tales of K Zau would've been allowed to slip past their anaemic ire. Luckily is great game regardless, perhaps also the best use of artsy purples in videogame world. Ahem, am not biased cos it favourite colour, though it certainly helps

Either far right content creators have very short lifespans or there are just too many to keep track of. When I was a wee lad we were grifted by figures such as Sargon of Akkad, No Bullshit or Mundane Matt who are either now gone or in serious decline. Now during those Sweet Baby nonsense I hear of new faces like Asmongold or that ex Blizzard clown. I think Critical Drinker is also fairly new.

It's because, while the grift is easy to jump in on, it's very hard to stay on top of. It changes constantly and accepts no compromise.

It also requires you to be constantly upset which is bound to exhaust anyone, other than freaks like Rush Limbaugh.

Man, that gay french waiter joke not landing REALLY hit Jerry Seinfeld hard, huh?

Apparently the "extreme left" and "PC crap" has destroyed comedy, in an age where transphobic stand-up routines by Dave Chapelle and Ricky Gervais gain top billing and viewership on Netflix. Then he lists a bunch of sitcoms from the 60's and 70's, and how we don't have that anymore, as proof for why the Left killed comedy. It's not the blockbuster industry having slowly absorbed the comedy genre, or the sitcom going the way of the Western, most comedy shows being streaming only now, having changed the landscape. No, it's those darn snowflakes.

Maybe Seinfeld should go back to that IDF training camp, where soldiers are trained to kill innocent civilians, he seemed to have a good laugh there.

Honestly they were right to be mad. The Stormtrooper said the Rebel Alliance kidnapped and indoctrinated children but it was the Jedi order which did all that. And as any true Star Wars fan knows the Jedi Order was destroyed before the Empire was even founded. That protester doesn't know shit! He's a plant!

A gay French waiter joke? Fuck me those jokes must qualify for the old age pension they're so bloody old.

No, see it was actually a very modern joke, because Seinfeld compared people scrolling on their phones like as if they're a gay french waiter. But because people are so leftist they didn't laugh - it was not his joke being dry trash.

Saudi Arabia: Woman jailed for 11 years for online expression supporting women’s rights

Saudi Arabia’s authorities must immediately and unconditionally release Manahel al-Otaibi, a 29-year-old fitness instructor and women’s rights activist, who has been sentenced to 11 years in prison because of her choice of clothing and support for women’s rights, Amnesty International and ALQST...

It's funny because the Saudis are currently chairing the UN's gender equality forum

Wasn't sure where to put this, but since some anti-environmentalist sentiment led to this predicament, I suppose this is as good a place as any.

Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf of the Scottish National Party (SNP) has resigned after less than 13 months in office.

SNP looks to unity candidate after Humza Yousaf quits as first minister

John Swinney emerges as favourite to become leader of party hit by series of damaging crises

www.theguardian.com

Background: the SNP is a social-democratic party, and often takes positions to the left of the main UK parties. It has ruled in a power-sharing agreement with the Greens since mid-2021, with a shared policy platform and ministerial posts for Greens.

Uuuuntil this month, when Yousaf unilaterally ended the agreement and chose to form a minority government instead.

To his surprised-Pikachu-face, the Greens immediately vowed to support a no-confidence motion in retaliation. So the Tories tabled one, all opposition parties supported it, and he lost. Then the resignation. That decision to abandon his allies backfired spectacularly and instantaneously.

There are two leading candidates to succeed him: John Swinney, Deputy First Minister and a past leader of the party; and Kate Forbes, a member of a really socially-conservative Christian church who's held several ministerial posts.

The SNP are expected to lose a lot of their seats to Labour when the actual election comes (and it must come by, at the latest, January 2025).

Yep. The new woke, the new CRT, the new racist dogwhistle.

Yes, they're minorities, meaning the other (white male) is the majority. Even in the year 2023 when all games have gone woke, the majority still feature a white guy as the protagonist. Meaning being white is still seen as the default. "Forcing" some minority representation in an industry where the default is white and straight is NOT the same as forcing white and straight to remain the default. Even in the oh so woke Alan Wake 2 and Spider-Man 2 the "forced" black characters had to share the main spotlight with a white character.

The gamer in question is a minority. People don't like stuff being forced on them. Same reason people didn't like the same short-haired white dudes as protagonists in every game.

What a convenient, impossible to prove definition based entirely on vibes that happens to include a wide variety of disparate games with no tangible correlation

What SBI does is literally in their About on their website.

So is Candace Owens.

Oh, you mean the white dudes that were in most games from last year? Yeah, people sure get as mad at that as they did at Sweet Baby Inc. Surely all those forced white dudes garnered the same amount of anger as a tweaked outfit in Stellar Blade, right?

It's the "more inclusive" bit. The only way to be more inclusive is to force in minority representation, doncha know?

Because simply having diversity is by (stupid people's) definition forced. Having a visible gay character in a game, movie, or show means it's being shoved down your throat.

Just it existing is an offense to them.

Just goes to show that if you backfire your political allies for the lulz you best be sure they're helpless to retaliate. Ruthless opportunism can be seen as skillful politics....if you win. If you betray someone only to lose you just look like an incompetent fool.

Did he give an explanation as to why bullying the Greens was more important than his political survival?

Its not quite the same. While every protagonist looking like Nathan Drake got quite a degree of mockery you didn't have clowns hysterically shrieking about it like they do every time a mean character is black or has boobs. Or worse, if they have both.

And when is something forced on them anyway? Most of the time those things just being there counts as it being FORCED! DOWN! THEIR! THROAT!
